The book "A Critical Evaluation of Vitamin D - Basic Overview" targets the physiological, biochemical and immunological aspects of vitamin D, including principles, mechanisms and clinical significance. This book covers four sections:
- 'Vitamin D on Physical and Physiological Activities',
- 'Vitamin D on Biochemical and Immunological Activities',
- 'Vitamin D on Musculoskeletal and Neurological System' and
- 'Vitamin D on Reproductive System'.
Each of these sections is interwoven with the theoretical aspects and experimental techniques of basic and clinical sciences. This book will be a significant source to students, scientists, physicians, healthcare professionals and also other members of this society who are interested in exploring the role of vitamin D in human life.
[We derive vitamin D from the sunshine, and hence it can also be considered as 'day' vitamin. - Sivakumar Gowder]
